[Intro]
From where I stand, through the struggle and the pain
Trying to make my way, drive these streets in the rain
[Verse 1]
Black man in the city, shadows on my block
Smoking on a blunt to forget what I got
Guns rattling, every corner speaks my truth
Living in a world that's both brutal and ruthless
[Pre-Chorus]
They watchin', they talkin', but I keep it movin'
Dreams of a better life, yeah, I keep pursuin'
But they see the surface, don’t see the inside
Fightin’ for my soul, got no place to hide
[Chorus]
Coming from the struggle, gotta find a way
Pain in my heart, night and day
They wanna break me, but I stay strong
This is my story, my right, my song
[Verse 2]
Holes and hustles, business on the corner
Living fast, time always gettin' shorter
She glances, she knows I got the juice
She just wanna ride, tell her friends she got the boost
[Verse 3 ]
Imagine trying to dodge your enemies while still trying to be a father trying to keep your Shorty safe and your baby mama bugging even though you left the streets alone working a 9 to 5 putting 50 hours driving home alone thinking what I make every two weeks I can make in three hours, but I’m trying to keep it p I got two months to lose in my baby mama truly think that this Knigge fool
[Pre-Chorus]
Pocket heavy, but I ain’t got the price
She wants the liquor, uh, wants the red ice
Money talk, but I still stand tall
Fighting for my future, gotta break the wall
[Chorus]
Coming from the struggle, gotta find a way
Pain in my heart, night and day
They wanna break me, but I stay strong
This is my story, my right, my song
[Bridge]
State dinners out of reach, but I dream high
Counting stars, wishing on the night sky
Life’s a battle, but I keep the faith
Walking through the fire, ready for whatever awaits
[Outro]
From where I’m from, yeah, I rise above
Fighting for respect, for hope, for love
It’s my life, my fight, my story to tell
In the end, I know I’ll excel
